His 240-day challenge, Project Limitless, began on 15 September with a swim across the English Channel. He then completed a 7,456-mile bike ride to India, a 559-mile run to Kathmandu, and a 223-mile trek to Everest base camp.

The challenge was also a fundraiser for SAVSIM, a nonprofit supporting wildlife conservation and veteran mental health.
